Run. Run faster, Run farther. Push. Go, go, go. Peyton's breathes came out in little puffs as she pushed herself harder. Her skin was coated with a light layer of sweat giving her tanned skin a light sheen. Her long dark hair was pulled up into a ponytail that swayed with each step she took, her feet colliding with the ground with a light tap. She wasn't heading anywhere in particular. But Pey needed a good run.
Running was a form of therapy, like most sports. It was one of the reasons Peyton was so fit. She was a super active person, and when she needed to think, she ran. Today, was a normal Saturday morning. The sky was rather dreary, threatening of showers later in the day. She had woken in the midst of a nightmare earlier. She had been having them more and more lately. Peyton had never had a nightmare until recently. Until her parents were murdered.
It was that day that she had learned she even had a brother. Her father had never talked about Sam at all. Sam was four years older than Peyton was, and her only living relative in the world. And when she had come to live with him, he had learned of her existence as well. It had been hard to adjust to life on the reservation compared to the busy city of Seattle. It was much slower here. She had too much time on her hands. Way too much time to think.
Her feet carried her onward. She didn't pay attention to where she was headed. Her I-pod played loud music into her ears blocking out sound. It wasn't until her feet hit the sand of the beach that she really realized where she even was. Slowing down to a brisk walk, Peyton made her way towards the center of the beach and sat down on the ground. She watched the water ebb and flow in graceful motions, almost as if it was dancing. This was relaxing. She leaned backwards and laid down, her skin settling against the warm grains of sand. Closing her eyes, Peyton laid there, relaxing and trying to push the bad memories away. She wanted to relax and enjoy her weekend. She had school on Monday and that wasn't fun.
